Show Notes

Curaçao is more than beaches and pastel buildings — it’s a living archive of resistance. From the coded flavors of Creole kitchens to the rebel drums of tambu, this is an island where culture defied empire. Why did the Dutch ban tambu music? What secrets are still whispered in the language of Papiamentu? And how does Carnival serve as protest behind the feathers and sequins? This isn’t just a travel story — it’s a reckoning with history, survival, and identity.
Would you know the truth if you danced right through it?
Or would you mistake resistance for celebration?
